Web Hosting, in technical terms, provide you a partitioned storage space for you to put your website on server with Internet access. So that your website can be accessible via domain name (e.g. www.yourdomainname.com )<\/p>\n

In Hong Kong, most web hosting packages already include website hosting, email hosting, DNS hosting and MySQL\/MariaDB database hosting.<\/p>\n

POP3 stands for \u201cPost Office Protocol – Version 3\u201d. A common communication protocol between email client (e.g. Microsoft Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird) and email server. It downloads the email from server to client PC. By default, most email clients do not keep copy on email server (i.e. free up the space on server), the emails stored on client PC side.<\/p>\n

IMAP stands for \u201cInternet Message Access Protocol\u201d. Apart from POP3, it is an another common communication protocol to check email, working between email client (e.g. Microsoft Outlook, Windows Live Mail, Mozilla Thunderbird) and email server. For IMAP, email items are stored on server (not stored on client PC). As email items stored on mail server, it is possible to share the mailbox access via IMAP by multiple devices (e.g. desktops, mobile devices, tablets).<\/p>\n

SMTP stands for \u201cSimple Mail Transfer Protocol\u201d. It mainly used for two purpose. – One is email user sends email. It uses SMTP communication protocol to talk to email server (e.g. TCP port 465, TCP port 587) – Another main usage is the communication between 2 email servers via TCP port 25, i.e. from sender email server to recipient email server.<\/p>\n

In Internet, every connected devices (client PC, your mobile device, hosting servers, router, etc) are distinguished by IP address. However, it is difficult for human to remember your IP address (e.g. IPv4: 192.168.23.24, IPv6: 2001:7fa:0:1::ca28:a197). It is easy for you to remember www.yahoo.com , www.google.com . When you enter \u201cwww.google.com\u201d inside your browser, your computer will try to find \u201cwww.google.com\u201d underlying IP, and contact that server for web page. Domain Name Server (DNS) is to used to resolve domain name to IP address.<\/p>\n

PTR record is the name for particular IP address. For example, the PTR of 180.92.180.38 = www.website-solution.net PTR record is heavily used for anti-spam. If sender IP address does not have PTR record, the recipient mail server may classify the incoming email as spam.<\/p>\n

If PTR record of particular IP can resolve to the same IP, it will be classified as Forward-confirmed reverse DNS (FCrDNS).<\/p>\n

For example, PTR record of 180.92.180.38 = www.website-solution.net www.website-solution.net = 180.92.180.38 So this is a case for Forward-confirmed reverse DNS (FCrDNS).<\/p>\n

SPF stands for \u201cSender Policy Framework\u201d. Through DNS TXT records, it specifies which Internet servers are legitimate to send email on behalf of this domain. It is one of the technique to detect spoofing email in antispam.<\/p>\n

DKIM stands for \u201cDomainKeys Identified Mail\u201d. Mainly used to increase trust level of the email.<\/p>\n

It employs asymmetric cryptography. It publishes public key via DNS TXT record, and stores the private key on mail server. When end-users send emails, mail server uses private key to digitally sign the email, and attach DKIM signature to the email header. When recipient mail server receive the email, it can use public-key (published in DNS TXT) to verify the integrity (i.e. not modified) and sender domain.<\/p>\n

It is one of the email spoofing detection technique against phishing and email spam.<\/p>\n

There are blacklisting, whitelisting. In email world, there are Greylisting.<\/p>\n

According to Wikipedia, Greylisting is a method of defending e-mail users against spam. A mail transfer agent (MTA) using greylisting will “temporarily reject” any email from a sender it does not recognize. If the mail is legitimate the originating server will try again after a delay, and if sufficient time has elapsed the email will be accepted.<\/p>\n

As open source software may be contributed by numerous people, the development\/bug fix\/security fix may become fast comparatively.<\/p>\n
